On the documentation of common symptoms and signs observed at all stages of the hyper-lethal global pandemic now officially named the 'Pandora Virus...'
It is commonly known that men cannot spread the Pandora Virus, though male researchers should still exhibit the utmost caution when interacting with even the most docile of research subjects. Should a male be bitten by one of the infected, or otherwise come in contact with the Pandora Virus, symptoms like fatigue and nausea are common at first, and death by fatigue, starvation, or dehydration are alarmingly common (see note 5c; death by starvation brought on by advanced fatigue.)
Increased appetites are common across all stages of the infection, varying in intensity as the infection grows stronger in an individual woman.
Once infected, women grow increasingly aggressive as the infection spreads, and this aggression seems to be directly correlated to the aforementioned increase in an individual's appetite. Furthermore, while elevated levels of aggression are not guaranteed in early stages of the infection, even the most docile of subjects observed in a controlled environment began displaying heightened levels of aggression by the middle stages of the infection. Communication via regular speech is unaffected between early-stage infected and most middle-stage infected.
Sadly, while some limited amount of communication has been observed to be possible between researchers and a few late-stage infected, most are deemed incapable of communication, verbal or otherwise, and are too dangerous to be interacted with directly. Fully infected subjects seem to lose the vast majority of their intellect, and devolve into mindless, primal aggression, driving them to attack and infect victims (if female) or devour entirely (if male.) See note 12b, this aggression seems to directly correlate to the shared instinct held by late-stage or final-stage infected to spread the Pandora Virus to other suitable (female) hosts.
I find it difficult to write such ludicrous words, but... for the sake of medical science, every word written here is true and not some perverted exaggeration... infected females will most likely all find their bodies changing in certain ways. It has been unanimously observed, documented, and agreed upon that the infection causes bodily growth in certain areas, at varying rates between individuals...
This growth is most commonly centered on an infected female's breasts, but news reports and scientific research shows that enlargement of the thighs and buttocks occurs in some subjects as well, with other research documenting an overall enlargement of the body (see note 7d, change in subject's recorded height) in certain infected females.
All research and known documentation shows that there are several most common 'early-warning' signs in an infected woman. These early-warnings are listed below.
1) The sudden engorgement of the breasts; with both in-facility research and external observations from survivors noting the sudden growth of one or more cup-size (see note 8b, minimum growth in centimeters appears to be 3cm, while the maximum value for this initial growth varies too much accurately list. The Maximum value seems to fluctuate based on each infected female's general physical condition, previous calorie intake, and so on.)
1A) Sudden lactation has been observed as well. This seems interchangeable with the enlargement of an infected woman's breasts; some captive specimens were recorded to experience a general engorgement of their breasts several days or even weeks prior to any lactation beginning. Other captive infected were observed to undergo several days or even weeks lactating before any enlargement to their breasts became permanent.
2) The other most common early warning sign in beginning-stage infected is the previously mentioned increase in appetite. This is admittedly difficult to use as a warning that a female is infected, as there are many other factors unconnected to the Pandora Virus that can lead to a temporarily increased appetite (change in exercise patterns, stress eating, and so on.) See note E4, 'false positives' for ore. To avoid false positives, one should consider the two-to-three rule. If more than two kilos of food are eaten at each meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner) over the space of three days, by a female who previously exhibited no such gluttony, there is significant risk that she is infected.
This information has been recorded for the purpose of serving as public safety information for all Japanese citizens, and from their, hopefully, it will be sent to people around the globe. All human beings should do their duty and be observant of the females around you for suspicious signs. The buttons on an office lady's blouse popping, a sudden, uncharacteristic, 'unladylike' amount of food being consumed in one sitting... Such details may sound silly or inappropriate, but keen eyes could very well save lives here.
